Silverbacks have produced an album of depth full of twists and turns, shifting textures and sounds and all skill-fully woven together into a whole.

Silverbacks’ Archive Material is a record that makes the best of a truly bizarre, banal, and jarring time.

A fascinating record, ‘Archive Material’ is another impressive step forward for Silverbacks.
